Oh Halloween I do not know why people think that you are so spooky,so scary,so creepy
All those ghosts,goblins,witches, skeletons, Dracula and vampires make your knees shake.
Houses look haunted Children trick-or-treating everywhere.Pumpkin baskets swinging and singing Candy,candy,candy Oh that sweet tasting candy,just like chocolate chip cookies
You make me think why you don't come fast enough. Halloween Halloween you give candy to all the children of the world You are incredible and fantastic. Still I Don't understand why people say you're scary,spooky,and creepy.
But I LOVE Halloween!
Ode to My Dreams
by Mike J.
If I close my eyes and look beyond the world, Would you join me there? And if I turn away and look inside, Would this new world even compare?
To take control in these dreams is To free the mind from doubt, Release your ego in lucidity, Give in to the power of your dreams.
Your mind is the door only you can see, Inside is eternity, moving forever inward. In sleep its deepest fears and desires Display twisted realities and surreal caricatures. Carnivalesque... Yet not as different from waking life as we believe.
Oh dreams, you grant me purpose even in rest, Placing me in danger, excitement, love, and fear. If my lucidity breaks through, then I am free, Free to sail to the edges of my mind, “The more I go inside, the more there is to see.” The whole world changes when I blink…
Ode to the Beach by Samantha
O beach your soft sand warms up my bare feet. Beach Your pretty seagulls Try to steal My peanut butter Sandwich. My mom Hands me an icecream it drips right Down my chin. I Boogis Board into the crashing wave. I see a school of fish swimming next to me one red one blue one big one small. I hear The sound of A child's laughter and want to join them too. We build a big sandcastle with a seashell on the top. O beach I wish this would never stop.
Ode to Fall by Jodi
Seasons change, summer gives way to fall Leaves turn red, orange and yellow. They float with the wind on their way down Crisp, crackle, crunch under your shoes as you walk.
Fall is the season of pumpkin spice lattes and apple cider donuts. Thick wooly sweaters and the sounds of rain on pavement.
The air gets crisp, signaling the coming seasons Anticipation for the holidays hangs in the air as the festive songs play on the radio It’s almost time for hot chocolate and mittens.
Fall is when the sun sets early and the stars stay out late. When the wind nips at your cheeks and tangles your hair.
Ode to Halloween by Cameron Oh Halloeen, your nights are so spooky and your witches are so frightful. Your monsters and vampires are really scary Your ghouls, ghosts, and goblins give us a spook.
All types of costumes with kids inside them.
Oh Halloween the costumes can be pretty, spooky, scary, fun, funny, or cool. Halloween how did you get so fun? There's trick-or-treating when you come. Kids get candy but don't eat much. Halloween,you're wonderful.
Ode to My Family
By Nicole Viteritti
I am so lucky To be a part of a family like mine Big in size But coming together all the time Different as individuals But strong as a whole And I love them all
Dad's selflessness Mom's care Angelo's talent Natalie's mind Stephanie's charm Maria's love Louie's innocence Gianna's spirit
They complete me Like no one else can My life would be so different Without them
Ode to Candy Land Oh candy land
Oh candy land My favorite game for holidays and weekends
Your gingerbread houses your cotton candy trees your icecream mountains your jello trampolines
Your peppermint stones your candycane pillars your gumdrop hills and chocolate bar doors
Candyland brings my friends together we laugh and we share oh Ishita my friend I know you want to win But all I wish is that this game Candy Land was real.

Cinem-Ode: An Ode to Movies By Cody Garrett
From the moment the ticket is in my hand To the moment the credits finally end I love the going to movies
Meeting interesting characters, Going on dangerous adventures, And traveling to different worlds
I feel completely at home When I am watching all alon Or even with my family and friends
On the edge of my seat Is where you and I can meet Excited for what will happen next
Batman, Alice, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Gandalf, James Bond, oh and Dorothy Are a small few of my closest friends
To laugh and to cry To live and to die I can’t look away
If a bad movie is what I’m going to view The best part will be the previews Preparing me for a fun future
Before we watch, please don’t rush me I just want to get a slushee And we can share some popcorn
Here comes a brand new story Making its place in history And now: the feature presentation.

Your pretty seagulls
Try to steal

Hands me an icecream

The sound of
A child's laughter
and want to join them too.
